‘Fighting Terror is Not Fighting Religion’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi says those who spread violence in the name of religion do not follow any faith. 

Condemning violence on the name of religion, the prime minister says, “When we think of 99 names of Allāh, none stands for force and violence. Allah is Rahman and Rahim”.

The global community must be more vigilant to counter forces of darkness with the radiant light of human values. 
<b>Narendra Modi, Prime Minister</b>

Modi says, “Terrorism uses diverse motivations and causes, none of which can be justified. Sufism is the voice of peace, co-existence, compassion, equality and a call to universal brotherhood”.

The Message of Sufism

The Prime Minister says, “Sufis experience universal message of almighty that perfection in human life is reflected in qualities that are dear to god.”

He adds,

Everyone is a creation of god and if we love god we must also love all his creations.
